COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION IN BEGINNING COLLEGE GERMAN: AN EXPERIMENT
Issued Date: 7 Aug 2014
Abstract
Background information on other German CAI programs and articles written by authors of German CAI programs with which the author is personally acquainted is first presented. Information on the author's experiment is then given. In the experiment two nearly homogeneous sections of second-semester German were utilized in this experiment. The experimental class used ten modules of computer-assisted instruction instead of the workbook, which the control group used. The purpose of the experiment was to find out if immediate reinforcement in self- pacing would enable the students to perform better on the final exam and to get a better course grade. Both sections were taught by the investigator. Both classes also took an achievement test at the beginning of the semester for comparison. The results show the experimental class was far superior.
